The trouble with unnamed insider sources is that sometimes their information is unreliable. However, when there is trouble on a film set, budgetary issues, and multiple scheduling changes, the information from those insider sources may have some validity.

Last week we reported that those problems took a toll for 47 Ronin, and as a result Universal Pictures forced director Carl Erik Rinsch out of the editing process. But when a studio ousts a director just like that, sometimes it’s best to get the word from the actual person. Reports are now saying that Rinsch is still very much a part of the editing process and has not been fired by Universal.

Looking at the multiple scheduling shifts that 47 Ronin has undergone, it’s no surprise that Universal Pictures, the studio backing the film, is trying to calm some nerves. The latest move from February 2013 to December 25, 2013 (the film was originally scheduled for November 2012) was done so that some reshoots to focus on Keanu Reeves‘ character could be completed. Now that they have finished, Ronin 47‘s troubles have only begun.

According to The Wrap, Ronin 47‘s director Carl Erik Rinsch, has been forced out of the editing process, and a studio exec will now be the one to put the finishing touches on the film. Here’s how the site describes the situation.

2013 will bring us another year of incredible movies and Universal has announced a couple of release date changes for their upcoming titles: Identity Thief, Jurassic Park 3D, About Time, 47 Ronin, Kick-Ass 2, R.I.P.D..

Of course with every date change comes the question of the state of the movie itself. So while some of these release date shifts may come as a shock, others are not so surprising.

Let’s start of chronologically. Seth Gordon‘s comedy Identity Thief starring Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy will be released on February 8th, 2013. The Jurassic Park 3D release will open in theaters on Aprtil 5th, 2013, while Richard Curtis‘ romantic time-travel feature, About Time, starring Rachel MacAdams, has been set for a May 10, 2013 release.
